WPC: Narrow
As much as I like the open landscape, I also like things narrow – unless it turns up in nightmares where I am stuck in a narrow tunnel, unable to go either forwards or backwards…

The tunnel leading to Cuevas de Valporquero, Spain. In reality – not a nightmare!
Thursday Thoughts – Slowly
Back from Spain, but only slowly returning to blogging. Thank you for all your lovely wishes for a good rest and reload!
I have just started reading, and somewhere next week I hope to read more and to post something more substantial…Thought I would send you this memory – a most significant sight along the Spanish summer roads.
Blog Break – Reloading
It is time for me to have a break. I will be reloading my batteries for a couple of weeks. Hopefully I will be back with new energy to read and write again.
I am so grateful for all of you, friends, readers and followers out there…the blogosphere is a warm and generous place to be. Thank you for your constant support, humour and good advice – and for all your fantasy and inspiration.
I wish you a lovely summer!

Travel theme: Indoors
This was a tricky one for Ailsa…I really am short of indoor photos. I guess I am just an outdoor person.
Nevertheless, this book store in Rome I find an irresistable indoors…and then, well, all of you who are dog lovers know what happens when you are sitting peacefully in that certain place…In (the) door suddenly appears a familiar face …”Oh, there you are! Just wanted to check…” (Quote, Mille)

WPC: Look up
Look up! This is a very varied challenge with many possibilities. My take is all about nature – even if you might not think so…
In the header, a lamp from Gaudí’s Casa Batllo´in Barcelona. He always used Nature herself as an inspiration. Maybe a drop of water in a pool?
A Swedish autumn birch in its splendour – who would not look up?
Great tree ferns, New Zeeland, North Island.
New Zealand’s Great fern trees draws your eye…upwards.
Madrid
In Madrid my head went dizzy when watching this tree in a spectacular swing…

And these well dressed trees… I just hade to peep inside for this spectacular view!

Camilla Thulin – Wear, If You Dare!
This rainy day was made for an outing – with darling Viveka at myguiltypleaures. She can make any day shine… We decided for Dunkers and the famous designer Camilla Thulin.
Dunkers
Camilla Thulin loves luxury ”second hand” and started collecting clothes and accessories at an early age. Today she is a famous fashion designer and her clothes are worn by actors as well as singers and other people in the Swedish world of artists.
She also has her own name in fashion and in the world of classy underwear.
The definition of ”Kaftan”, according to the Oxford Dictionary, is a man’s long belted tunic, worn in countries of the Near East. It could also mean a woman’s long loose dress, or a loose shirt or top.
She started collecting folklore when she was 14

Camilla Thulin declares her fascination for this garment, and in the exhibition hall there are kaftans of her design as well as kaftans from her own collection of second hand and folklore clothes from Morocco, Turkey and Palestine, among others.

Kaftans can be worn by both women and men
For the scene, her collection is vast – some examples are ”Piaf”, ”Evita” and ”Amadeus”.
In an earlier post, I mentioned her clothes for Army of Lovers. In this Dunkers’ exhibition there was also a dress made for our Swedish jazz singer, Lisa Nilsson, worn at the Crown Princess’ wedding.

Peep inside the studio – what might it look like inside the creative Camilla’s headquarters?
